My Friend with Benefits Stole My Heart (COMPLETED)

My Friend with Benefits Stole My Heart - Chapter 18

Charlie was now parked outside my house. Not finding any words to say, I shifted to open the door when he stopped me.

With his hand on my wrist he said,''We're still good, right?''

''Of course. I'm just hate your mom. People always say that moms hate every girl her son is with because they think no one will ever be good enough for them, but tonight I was shot at point blank.''

''I guess I didn't warn you that she's a fighter.''

''Now you tell me!''I shout and lie back exasperated.

We guffawed filling the empty and bitter night.

''Can I stay for the night?''

"I don't see a reason why you shouldn't considering today's a Friday and although I have questions for my mom they can wait."

Charlie didn't say anything he just got out of the car came to my side, opened the door for me like the gentleman I know he is and we walked hand in hand to my home. While giggling like a school gir,l as Charlie pulled me up the stairs behind him, I realized someone hadn't made me feel this way in a long time.

One second we were flying up the stairs the next our clothes went flying in different directions.

Let's just say we didn't say up all night talking.

The sun lit my room with a soft glow or was it Charlie's ruffled hair and sleepy face? No matter how much I felt like a weirdo for watching him sleep it was with the feeling when he caught me staring at me and instead of looking appalled my heart nearly stopped when he smiled his toothy grin and kissed me good morning.

"What time is it?" Charlie inquired.

"Cuddle time?"I suggested hopefully.

"You read my mind. Now come here."

I don't know what it is but he made me feel cherished. He made me feel loved. As the realization hit me I whispered into the nape of his neck words that I thought I'd never say again with so much courage,"I love you."

I was met by silence and my heart sank. With tears in my eyes I looked up ready for rejection, but I Charlie's sleeping face replaced it. He hadn't heard.

I didn't know whether to be sad or happy because I might have dodged a bullet. Letting everything be, I fell into a restless sleep.

"Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!"someone said cheerfully who could only be Charlie.

I rose and leaned on my elbows and standing with a tray of food was Charlie looking cute as ever. His hair still a mess and I could see his innocence so plainly. However, the thing that stood out the most is that he was unlike any other guy I have ever dated and probably will ever have the privilege of dating. Every guy I meet after this I will compared to Charlie.

"Getting fancy are we?"I teased, not letting how touched I was seep through.

Setting down the tray on my nightstand with a wolfish smile, Charlie entered my personal space leaving only tiny molecules between our lips. Sensing he had the upper hand he playfully bit his bottom lip.

"Boy am I drowsy!"I yawned throwing one hand towards the ceiling and the other to my mouth.

"Yeah right."

Charlie pulled me by my wrist and into a sultry kiss. He was the first to pull away and I groaned in frustration.

"Someone has to eat breakfast while I make their bath."

And with that he left, but not without a kiss to the cheek. Not only did he leave me with that, he also left me with an unsettled feeling.

I was shaken,rattled,perturbed,another two syllable word!

Is this what I've been missing out on? If so, I'm never going back. However,something even bigger than this was happening. I didn't know you could love someone so much, so quickly. My love for Charlie kept growing stronger and stronger and part of myself hated it deep down inside.

One delicious breakfast and a warm bath later, my mother and I were sitting at the dining table.

''Mom, you know Charlie."I said feeling like an idiot.

"I know of him. You never actually took him home to meet me,"she said looking me in the eyes.

"Oh I've had enough of anyone meeting anyone's family."

"And what's that suppose to mean?"

"I met Charlie's family yesterday. "

"You what?!? Why didn't you tell me?"she interjected.

"Stop interrupting my explaining. Anyways, so it all crumbled when Charlie's mom asked for my last name,"I placed a finger on my mom's lips,"that's when she supposedly put two and two together and came to the conclusion that you're a whore."

"What?"she asked with a confused expression.

"A trollop, a slut, a call girl, an escort, a sex worker!"

"I know what whore means. I was just wondering who hates me that much."

"Charlie's mom."

"Is his last name Anderson?"

"Yes!"I shouted standing up with pure glee.

"Sit down. It's story telling time,"she said then continued,"Did her husband say anything?"

"Nope."

"I thought so. Dean and I had been on and off for a year. Of course when you break up you date people again, but somehow we always found our way back to each other. One day, I was over his house and someone's banging on the door. Open the door and it's this prissy bitch who says I'm dating her man. Told her I didn't know. Would she believe me? Then she brushes pass me and it sounds like she's crying when she says: "I'm pregnant." Ever since that Dean has probably been the best father. He left me right after."

"Oh, I'm sorry mom."

"Don't be. It wasn't love, but I did meet Charlie in the kitchen this morning while he was making your breakfast and that, darling, is love."

With all that info I raced to my bedroom to find Charlie. He was where I left hi watching TV. Dropping myself in bed right beside him I started to play with his red hair.

"Did I tell you I love your hair?"

"Yeah, the day I got it done."

"Well I should tell you more often. I love your hair."

And I love you.

"Thanks again amazing girlfriend. Hey, do you want to go somewhere?"

"Anywhere you are that's where I belong."

Charlie was quiet for a second then a huge smile broke out on his face. It's really nice to see him smile like that and hopefully I'm the reason.

I'm the worst person ever! It's been so many weeks since I've updated.
